The prohibition canvass has taken

The prohibition canvass has taken
a boycotting turn in Cass county. A
telegram from Linden says: G. f.
Dunson, from near Knights Bluff,
this county, came in and reported to
Judge j. G. Henderson that the trus-
tees of his school had waited on him
and requested him not to teach any
longer, and, upon being asked their
reasons for discharging him, stated
that he had taken stock in the recent
election as Il prohibitionist, and that
he could no longer teach. 1t is also
reported to be the same case with
Tip Boon, about twelve miles west Of
this place.

Hear n Veteran Democrat.

Col, Charles DeMorse, editor OF
the Clarksyille Standard, has the fol-
lowing editorial on the question OF
'reading out" prohibition Democrats
Col DeMorse is, we believe, the old
est editor in the State, and has long
been leading representative Texas
Democrat. Read what he says;
The Galveston Dallas News is in
terviewing sundry rather prominent
persons in the State, relative TO the
future effect of prohibition on tho
Democratic party Tho views ex-
pressed are diverse. Some OF them
suggest that tho Democratic party
must meet and declare prohibition
anti Democratic. AS the Democratic
party has no more cognizance OF n
question OF that sort than it has OF q
mans religious views, and as Mr..
Jefferson, the founder of the party
said, that it was duty Of the legis-
lature to restrict the Incorporate use
of whisky by making it too costly for
the drinker, or taking care Of the in
temperate as they would of the ma
MACS, it would sound little singular
for these modern apostles to endeav'
or TO reform or restate Jeffersonian
Democracy. And if they assume to
declare the Punishment of saloons
sumptuary, they only show their lack
of discrimination in the meaning OF
words, There will be two reasons
why the State Democratic conven-
ton will not do this. The first is, that
tho common sense of the great body
of the Democratic people OF Texas
will not countenance an attempted
restriction upon the moral action of
the great body of Democratic voters,
even if the ants were in numerical
majority. The next is, that as the
Democratic ants are not in numer-
ical majority, or if so, very slight
majority, induced by persuading con-
servative Democrats that if they
voted for prohibition they were OPP
posing Jeffersonian Democracy
which was simply false, and made out
of the whole cloth. The whole re-
turns of State-official-with re-
duction from the majority vote of the
entire Republican vote less 10 per
cent, will show where the body OF
the Democrats is. The staunch
members of the party are not to be
turned aside from their convictions
by any nominal victory purchased by
prostitution with negroes and Mexi-
cans, and bought with the money OF
Northern breweries or liquor associ-
atoms. The pros prosecuted their
labors for reform through honest
Democratic agencies. They placed
no negro bus drivers on their COM
mittees, nor hired any attorneys to
run about and falsify Democratic doc
trine for pay in money, derived from
foreign sources that wanted to cor
rupt the vote for their own profit.
Our skirts are clear; our consclences
unseared we have not wallowed in
low associations we are clean, I'M
compromising Democrats. We can
not be drummed out Of the Demo-
cratic party by any drivellers who
have received pay from the enemy;
nor can we be forced to yield our
convictions. We are our own men,
of full size and age. We do not be
long to the breweries and the distil-
leries. They can neither drive us,
manage us, nor alarm us.

Railroad Meeting at FredrickSburgl

Railroad Meeting at FredrickSburgh.
We are asked to copy the proceed
ings of a mass meeting at Frodricks-
burgh, August %, on the subject OF
railroad either to this place or Aus
tin. We append some Of the more
important resolutions adopted by the
meeting:
First, That we renew our tender OF
right of way through this county,
and all necessary depot ground, for
the use of such railroad extension
from Austin or San Marcos, and will
also otherwise aid to the extent of our
ability in the early construction OF
such extension.
Second, That the certain and val
liable resources of said section Of
country in agricultural products, live
stock and minerals, it's grain, cotton,
wool, granite, marble, soapstone, coal,
etc, give assurance OF immediate and
permanent profit in tue operation Of
said road.
Third, That we are confident no
other railroad now constructed Or
projected could ever divert the trade
of said section of country from the
channel furnished by said extension
in early operation.
Since the above we have seen refer
ence made in the Austin Statesman
to a survey in contemplation with
reference to another railroad via this
place. San Marcos may yet become
Il railroad center.

DIR. f. T. Mitchell made this office
a pleasant visit the past week. Beng

the prohibition side of the great ques-
ton of the day, and having only re,
Gently been in secret conclave NJ

esting person TO talk to, The Doctor
stated in effect that the committee
reached decision 10 recommend the
maintenance of the State organiza-
ton on strictly non-politieal basis
disclaiming any connection with any
of the existing parties, and leaving
tho prohibitionists free to use their
own judgment inside their respective
party organizations. A committee
of five was appointed to issue an adj
dress, setting forth in detail the work
of the Central Committee, with an
analytical statement of the result
DIR. Carroll is chairman OF this com
mittee, and within few days the
address will be prepared and pub
lished.
After the committee had adjourned
the Democrats present assembled to
discuss the policy to be pursued with
reference to the attempt on the part
of extremists in the anti ranks to in
sert IN anti plank in the platform.
1t is worthy of note that Mr.. Gran
fill, of tho Wdco Advance, at this
juncture retired, stating that rs he
was Third Tor Prohibition) party
man, he had no business there.
II seemed evident to the gentle
men present that the extremists
among the ants would insist on an
anti plank, they seeming to calculate
ON adding to Democratic votes, by
accessions from Germans and negros,
sufficiently to make good any losses
to tho party from this extreme action;
and thus make their leadership OF the
Democracy Tor so-called Democracy
in this event) the more secure. The
extremists will of course do all in
their power to stock the next con-
vention with ants, regardless OF
other qualifications. In counties
where the pros are strong, they will
no doubt propose to 'divide" repre-
sentation, but in counties where the
ants are strong, they will insist Oh
the whole loaf. 1t was not the opin-
ion, however, that they could succeed,
because it is hardly credible that they
will have any considerable following
even among the ants. However, the
gentlemen present seemed to think
that it will be well to warily watch
their movements.

The startling frequency and terri
BILE fatality of railroad disasters this
year presents strong argument on
the side of government control of
railroads. The advocates Of this
policy will not be slow to take adj
vantage of each recurring catastrophe
to emphasize the necessity of it's
adoption. The first consideration of
private control is of course profit for
the owners; public interest and pub
lie safety are only of secondary or
minor Importance. The desire of
big dividends is certainly dangerous
to life and limb of travellers. 1t
may be said in reply that holding the
companies strictly responsible for
ayoidable damage done will remedy
this. To a certain extent it will, but
risks will be taken even then, and it
will be a poor consolation to the poor
dead or MANNED victim to know that
the company will suffer pecuniary
